Using electron configurations, explain why the halogens readily react with the alkali metals to form salts

Halogen react with alkali metals because of their valence electrons. Halogens are just one electron short of being a stable wanna be "noble gas" so they "take or borrow" an electron. alkali metals have one too many valence electrons to be a noble gas, so they "give or lend" an electron.

this is why they are so compatible.
EXAMPLE

NaCl= Na+ +Cl-

Sodium(Na) "gives" its extra electron in order to become stable and Chlorine(Cl) "takes" Na extra electron in order to become stable

How many grams of NaF should be added to 500 mL of a 0.100 M solution of HF to make a buffer with a pH of 3.2
Korolek [52]

Answer:

2.25g of NaF are needed to prepare the buffer of pH = 3.2

Explanation:

The mixture of a weak acid (HF) with its conjugate base (NaF), produce a buffer. To find the pH of a buffer we must use H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A-] / [HA]

<em>Where pH is the pH of the buffer that you want = 3.2, pKa is the pKa of HF = 3.17, and [] could be taken as the moles of A-, the conjugate base (NaF) and the weak acid, HA, (HF). </em>

The moles of HF are:

500mL = 0.500L * (0.100mol/L) = 0.0500 moles HF

Replacing:

3.2 = 3.17 + log [A-] / [0.0500moles]

0.03 = log [A-] / [0.0500moles]

1.017152 = [A-] / [0.0500moles]

[A-] = 0.0500mol * 1.017152

[A-] = 0.0536 moles NaF

The mass could be obtained using the molar mass of NaF (41.99g/mol):

0.0536 moles NaF * (41.99g/mol) =

<h3>2.25g of NaF are needed to prepare the buffer of pH = 3.2</h3>

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!! WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!
Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

The magnet uses electromagnetic induction meaning it can be readily magnetized and demagnetized (using electricity) when required. When electricity is switched on, it becomes magnetized and lifts an object and when electricity is switched off, it loses magnetism and releases the object.

The magnetic is able to lift heavy objects because it has powerful conductor material (ferromagnetic iron) and the number of electromagnetic coils is many to induce a powerful magnetic force. The electric current, inducing the magnetism, is also powerful.
